Display Combined WordPress and Facebook Comment Count

[spout]

I need to display the combined WordPress and Facebook comment count in the comments link. I found the following code from https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-combine-wordpress-and-facebook-comments-counts.

In functions.php:

function full_comment_count() {
global $post;
$url = get_permalink($post->ID);
$filecontent = file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=' . $url);
$json = json_decode($filecontent);
$count = $json->$url->comments;
$wpCount = get_comments_number();
$realCount = $count + $wpCount;
if ($realCount == 0 || !isset($realCount)) {
    $realCount = 0;
}
return $realCount;
}

and in the template:

<?php if (full_comment_count()==0) { ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php echo full_comment_count(); ?>
<?php } ?>

or <?php echo full_comment_count(); ?>

The first part is fine. But how do I edit the comment number in Genesis? It doesn't appear I can add a filter in the genesis_post_comments_shortcode() for the number.

The genesis_comments_link_filter()doesn't contain the comment number either. Does anyone know how I can edit it?
